[Titanic] True Love Is Eternal

I heard the roar of the water breaking through the door panels below, roaring up the grand staircase, and the boat was heeling so badly that I felt like I was going to slip and fall any minute as Karl ran forward.

The hair was sticky to my face, and I could barely see, a blurred light in front of my eyes.I couldn't feel my calf at all, and I was so weak that I was sweating all the time.

"We'll be on the lifeboat soon, and I know there are still lifeboats out there, Emily?" Carl gasped with difficulty, calling to me eagerly.

"...Okay." I couldn't see clearly, and my voice was so weak that I could hardly hear him.My face rested on his shoulders, and he ran forward desperately with his back on my back.

There was a precarious creaking sound here and there, as if the magnificent tomb would crumble if we weren't paying attention, burying us all in the sea.I felt like I was short of breath, just like this new ship, and the aftereffects of excessive blood loss would kill me at any moment.

I insisted not to faint, but even with my eyes open, I couldn't see any real objects.Carl's muscles were tense. He was not wearing a lifejacket. With my face pressed against his neck, I could feel the strong and rapid beating of his pulse.

In the clammy and cold condition, he was as warm and alive as a flame.

We kept running up, time chasing after us with the breath of death.Carl calls me now and then, and I try to answer him as best I can.I tried hard to see the shaky road in front of me, but the lights above my head were too bright and covered everything.

"We are almost there, we will be there soon." Carl comforted me, he was afraid that I would not be able to hold on.

"Okay." I said softly, mouth dry.

Carl knew how to get back to the deck of the lifeboat. He didn't waste a moment of going into the wrong place as he ran forward. I wanted to hug him tightly, but my hands were so weak that I could only hang on his chest.

We ran to the top of the grand staircase, in the center of the relief of figures that symbolize nobility and honor, and the clock just passed two o'clock.I can't feel any warmth, the upper stairs are full of steam, the bow of the ship has been pulled to the surface, the water is starting to rush to the top deck, and soon the ship will be overwhelmed and pulled into the depths of the ocean.

The first-class passengers finally panicked. When Carl was carrying me, he was almost hit several times.I squinted my eyes tiredly, and saw those swaying figures, which were extremely noisy.

Suddenly Carl stopped walking, he turned his head and stared at the front, I whispered in his ear suspiciously, "Carl?"

"It's Andrew..." Carl said angrily, and he continued to run outside without hesitation. "There are too many people, so we can only let him go."

Let him go?I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

We finally came to the deck of the lifeboat, and the cold sea breeze was full of voices.I heard someone yelling: "Hurry up, run, the water is coming up." Then weeping, prayers, and orders to lower the lifeboat interweave into a canvas of chaotic colors, which stretches mottled and obscure in my eyes .

On top of the hustle and bustle of voices, there is the melody of the violin slowly flowing through time and years, pitying the world with a certain belief.

I tried to find the performer, but all I could see were the chaotic refugees. The ropes lowered by the lifeboat were like gallows, with a trembling broken sound.Carl no longer cared about his gentleman image, he ran to the most crowded place, and the lifeboat commander threatened, "Back back, everyone back up. I will shoot anyone who dares to break in."

It was the last lifeboat, and none of the crew were willing to let any man aboard.

"Karl..." I could barely speak, my voice was so hoarse, I whispered in his ear dizzily, "Come with me on the lifeboat..."

"Of course, of course we will go up together, and we will go to the doctor immediately." Carl said loudly, in a place with such high decibels, he was worried that I would not be able to hear.He angrily kicked the man in front of him away, and shouted to him: "Get out of here, don't hinder me." Then he felt that there were too many people in front of him, and finally couldn't bear the young master's temper tantrum, so he used his body to push him away The human wall, "I said you guys get out of the way, I have injured people, my wife is injured..."

His voice was too loud, which attracted the attention of the crew in front, and soon Karl achieved his goal, and the crew inside also came up and pulled a lot of men away to make way for us.

"Quick, there is a wounded person. It's a woman. The people on the lifeboat move and let her go up." The first officer pointed at the crowd with a gun in his hand and said to the passengers on the lifeboat behind him.

Carl anxiously passed through the panicked crowd, and finally came to several crew members. The first officer shouted after seeing me, "Come here, some people, help lift her up."

Carl tried to squeeze the first officer away from me behind his back, and went to the lifeboat by himself. He didn't have the kindness that lifeboats can only be boarded by women.

Seeing his actions, the first officer raised his hand without hesitation, grabbed his shoulders, and said angrily to Carl, "You can only let this lady go up, sir."

"My wife is injured, and I have to take care of her. I'm her only support." If it weren't for my back, Carl might have stretched out his hand and strangled the ignorant crew member.

"The space in the lifeboat is limited, you can't go up, Mr. Hockley." The first mate beside Carl said in a low voice anxiously, "There are too many men waiting to board the boat ahead, if you go up now, then we are likely to suppress Unstoppable riots. Back off! Everyone back off, don’t force me to shoot.” Before we could communicate with Carl, the first officer suddenly turned around, with a fierce expression on his face, waving his gun at us and desperately wanted to rush over The crowd yelled.

Several crew members rushed over, trying to pull me off Carl, and Carl immediately said like a frown: "Take it easy, idiot."

My weak fingers began to bend, hooking the clothes on Carl's chest, bit by bit, and with all my strength, I grabbed him.

"Let go, Emily." Carl noticed my movement, and he was going to hand me over to the crew.

"Let's go together..." I refused to let go, my brain was so heavy that I couldn't put anything in it, I just knew I couldn't let go now.

"Okay, we're together, trust me." Carl stretched out a hand, gently stroking the back of my hand that was so hard that it was white and blue, and in the next second he suddenly exerted force, the strength of a man prevailed at this moment, my fingers It was broken by him forcefully.He quickly let go of me, one crew member caught me, and another crew member immediately towed me and stuffed me into the lifeboat.

My hand is trying to grab something in the air, bending badly.

The lifeboat was crowded, I was pulled to the side of the lifeboat, and a woman put her blanket on me.I opened my eyes and looked up, and suddenly felt terribly empty and cold. I called "Carl", and the name had never felt so far away.

"My husband also stayed on the boat." The woman who put the blanket on me cried, she lowered her head and shed tears sadly.

Another woman kept repeating a few words, and seemed to be singing, "I wish to be close to my Lord, to be close to my Lord, although the situation is difficult..."

The notes of the violin are still flying, which complements this crying.I was leaning on top of the others, looking sideways out of the lifeboat, and Carl was watching me from the crowd.

The crew insisted that the man not be allowed on board, and the water began to rush in.Someone yelled madly, "Bastard, I'm going to die."

The first mate decisively ordered, "Cut the lifeboat rope, go into the water, hurry up." Under his order, the crew swarmed over and began to cut the sling rope with knives. Lucky to get on a lifeboat.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out, and a man who jumped over was hit by the gun and fell to the ground, with blood flowing down the grain of the deck.

"This is the consequence of rushing in, retreat." The first officer shouted, his voice piercing.

Karl was threatened by the gun and took a few steps back, with a mixture of fear and sternness on his face.He put his hands in his pockets as if he wanted to pull out something, but soon I saw him endure it, and said eagerly to the first officer: "Get the lifeboat into the water, the ship is going to sink."

I watched him, hands on the edge of the lifeboat, the two-ton hull swayed, and the sway made me fall back into the lifeboat.

Carl didn't try to convince the first mate anymore, his slightly contorted face softened, and I saw him straighten his messy suit jacket and overcoat with his hands, and he had time to scratch his hair.

Then, like a real gentleman, he stood in the crowd and gave me a reassuring smile.As if the chaotic and terrified crowd didn't exist, and we weren't on the wreck, he said goodbye to me only briefly.

"Go into the water." The first mate shouted.

I looked at Carl silently, and then I realized that the distance between us was getting farther and farther.
